Syed Fai

Federal Election Committee databases show that Mr. Fai has made more than $20,000 in campaign contributions in his own name. The bulk of them went to two Republican congressmen — Representatives Dan Burton of Indiana and Joe Pitts of Pennsylvania — who have been outspoken in their criticism of India’s handling of Kashmir. But Mr. Fai also made smaller contributions to several Democratic representatives, including Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, Jim Moran of Virginia and Gregory Meeks of New York. He also donated $250 to Al Gore’s 2000 presidential campaign and another $250 to Barack Obama’s in 2008, and he gave thousands to both the Democratic and Republican senatorial committees, the databases show.
